Manic Street Preachers is so sixth-form try-hard. Which tracks, i guess.

Put off listening to about 80% of bands because their names are too annoying. ā€˜Bug clubā€™ the most recent one.

I think this is an example of where the name is better than the band. A band called Coldplay should be much more dark, mysterious and interesting.

Iā€™ve always liked their name.

If you dislike it, I imagine youā€™ll dislike the band name 86TVs which is taken from one of their songsā€¦
